Toothsome

I told you there are a number of reasons to tune in to afternoon soaps! One of them is a constantly shirtless Paul Jake Castillo in ABS-CBN’s soap Alyna. The 26-year-old cutie from Cebu, who was discovered in a Big Brother season, is heating up the small screen via his nerdy-sexy look in the series.

i am tagalog and not a single drop of visayan blood in me. but i find a certain sexiness in the visayan accent which i can’t explain. love seeing hunky good looking guys and speak with the regional accent. makes them more endearing to me. kaya dalawang past bf ko eh isang cebuano at isang ilonggo. complete with their accent. super sexy!

Maybe its just me but I find him rather ordinary looking (based on 2 pics of him on this blog, one a group pic with Gerald, the other solo in briefs). I did notice though that in his current pic he improved the def of his bod. BTW,enough of this regional accent brouhaha. It exists in America and England, and perhaps everywhere in the world. Why are Pinoy bekis so picky?

It’s not that Visayans are very sensitive about their accent. It’s because Tagalogs are insensitive about their attitudes. Have you heard a Tagalog trying to speak Visayan? It’s horrific, but at least they try and we don’t make fun of it.

If we don’t like being discriminated by foreigners, we should practice it also at home.

the problem with these visayans – its always the issue of being discriminated,vocally that they see. Come on guys-i see no wrong with the first comment-he finds a co-visayan adorable, but he dislikes the way he talks,pj’s accent so to speak. What so wrong with that?

You interpreted in a way that we again are being dscriminated-then its us visayans who perceive that our dialect is quite irritating to others. Becoming boastful in return-asking others to have a talk with us in plain english.. Im proud of my accent-i dont find any wrong with the comment. The first one specefically. Just dont over react n some matters cause in return-its us whose making this trademark of us a shameful thing. Show them some brain and not toungue.. peace fellas…

I think there’s nothing with having a Visayan accent..everywhere in the world have their distinct accents inherent to their ethnic group and regional locations..perhaps those who commented about “accent” doesn’t have any background or doesn’t have an understanding about linguistics per se.
